Georgia’s Kakheti region is famous for its ancient wine traditions, but a new wave of boutique producers is redefining what Georgian wine can be. Among them, Rtoni Winery has quickly become a standout. Founded in 2017, this Kakheti-based winery is dedicated to minimal-intervention winemaking, producing natural and biodynamic wines that honor both the land and the vine.
With indigenous varietals like Kisi, Chinuri, Khikhvi, and Saperavi at the heart of its portfolio, Rtoni Wines deliver purity, authenticity, and a modern appeal that resonates with today’s adventurous wine lovers.
The Philosophy Behind Rtoni
Rtoni Winery was built on the belief that the best wines are made with patience, respect, and minimal interference. Their approach emphasizes:
Vineyards in Kakheti cultivated with biodynamic and sustainable practices
Indigenous Georgian grapes such as Kisi, Chinuri, Khikhvi, and Saperavi
Qvevri fermentation, connecting modern natural wine enthusiasts to Georgia’s 8,000-year-old tradition
Minimal-intervention winemaking: no unnecessary additives, just the honest expression of grape and terroir
This philosophy makes Rtoni one of the most exciting names in the Georgian natural wine movement.
Signature Wines from Rtoni
Rtoni Kisi – Bright and aromatic, with flavors of citrus, apricot, and wild herbs. A refreshing yet complex white wine with natural wine character.
Rtoni Chinuri – Crisp and lightly herbal, this indigenous grape variety produces wines with remarkable freshness and a mineral edge.
Rtoni Khikhvi – Textured and expressive, offering floral aromatics, stone fruit, and a distinctive amber-hued depth when qvevri-aged.
Rtoni Saperavi – A bold red wine showcasing Kakheti’s most famous grape. Dark berry fruit, spice, and earthy tones make it both powerful and elegant.
Each bottling reflects Rtoni’s commitment to natural balance and terroir-driven authenticity.
Why Rtoni Wines Stand Out in the USA Market
With growing demand for natural and biodynamic wines in the USA, Rtoni arrives at the perfect moment:
Minimal-intervention approach for consumers seeking authentic, sustainable wines
Indigenous Georgian varietals like Khikhvi, Kisi, and Chinuri rarely found outside Georgia
Natural wine appeal that resonates with sommeliers, boutique retailers, and adventurous collectors
Authentic storytelling rooted in Georgia’s Kakheti region and its millennia-old wine traditions
For wine buyers in the United States, Rtoni Wines offer the best of both worlds—ancient tradition and modern natural wine appeal.
Where to Buy Rtoni Wines in the USA
Through Corus Imports, Rtoni Wines are now available for wine retailers, restaurants, and private collectors across the country. From the refreshing Chinuri to the bold, natural-style Saperavi, Rtoni brings biodynamic Georgian wines directly to the U.S. market.
Final Sip
Founded in 2017, Rtoni Winery has already carved out a reputation as one of Georgia’s most exciting boutique producers. With its natural, minimal-intervention approach and focus on indigenous Kakhetian varietals, Rtoni is redefining what it means to experience authentic Georgian wine.
For anyone looking to buy Georgian natural wines in the USA, Rtoni—imported by Corus Imports—is a name that belongs on your list.
